I regret taking their test with 200 bucks now. It used to be novel and years back, the concept of a totalitarian society with surveillance, database, social credit was still very remote

In the UK credit scores have been tied to social behaviors like voting. Similarly London has been famed for their CCTV system that allegedly keeps crime low. And let’s not forget the CompStat database system that is credited with turning NYC from one of the most dangerous western cities to one of the safest. My point is, that at least within the time range of cheap genetic tests, these “totalitarian” systems have already been in place.
